Milan City Travel
The northern capital of Italy and the centre for business, Milan is much more like other northern European cities than those in the south of Italy. The city is centred on the world's biggest Gothic cathedral. Cultural highlights are offered in La Scala Opera house. There is also lively nightlife with regular concerts and a excellent selection of cuisine both local and international.
5 things not to miss :
1 Shopping for fashion. Milan has been the centre of Italian fashion industry and each year there are numerous shows by leading designers. Stroll along the wide streets and gaze at the wears of fashion houses including, Gucci, Versace and Valentino. Via Monte Napoleone is lined with outlets of all the big names, follow the little side streets as well for examples of work by local artists and less well known, at least now, designers. On the north side of the city Corso Buenos Aires is another street where you can find great shopping.
2 Duomo – Construction started in 1386 and only finished five centuries later when Napoleon was crowned King of Italy here. It is an enormous structure which can accommodate up to 40,000 people. The piazza outside marks the centre of the city and the reference point for all other journeys.
3 The Last Supper – The Church of Santa Maria della Grazia hosts the Last Supper, Michelangelo's masterpiece and one of the most replicated and recognisable works on art in western culture. Over the centuries the painting as undergone numerous restaurations, the last of which lasted fully 20 years and finished in 1999. This restored the colour to its former glory. It has since become the centre of renewed interest due to the analysis provided by Dan Brown in his international best seller, The Da Vince Code .
4 Football – The Guiseppe Meazza stadium, more commonly known simply as San Siro is home to two of soccer's biggest names, AC and Inter of Milan. Teams play in this theatre of football on alternative weekends so if you visit during the season, from late August to May, you will have the chance to take in a game, tickets cost from as little as €15.
5 Navigli – The most compact entertainment area in Milan, once the port area of the city, now a series of canals are flanked by bars, cafes and restaurants. There are a number of festivals throughout the year which are very popular with both locals and visitors.
